What American Idol didn't tell you about Willie Spence | Audition story 2021
Ойын-сауық
Willie Spence has been singing for almost as long as he can remember. His journey began around the age of four when he began singing at his grandfather’s church. Willie attended Coffee High school and initially his experience there wasn’t much different than other students. An experience at Coffee High school, however, would mark a turning point in Willie’s path to budding fame. Willie was 18 years old when a friend filmed him singing Rihanna’s “Diamonds” while sitting in their high school sports hall. The cover went viral after ending up on KZread and launched the beginning of a large social media following for Willie that includes over 534,0000 subscribers on KZread.
For his American Idol audition, Willie sang “Diamonds” by Rihanna. During Hollywood week, Willie solidified his status as a frontrunner when he performed “All of Me” by John Legend for the genre challenge. After the performance, Judge Lionel Richie said, “"Your career is right there for you, I don’t want to waste any more time,” and judges advanced him through to the next round. For the Duets round, Willie was paired with fellow contestant Kya Monee and the pair performed “Stay” by Rihanna.
The performance brought judge Katy Perry to tears and Judge Lionel Richie said, “That performance was divine, That was an experience,”

I never met this young man. Am living in england. He sure is a winner. He could sing for me anytime. Wow
Heyyy Willie!!! I'm a 68-year-young Southern belle, and you are my favorite Idol. Regardless of the outcome on American Idol, you will receive that Grammy in 5 years, I just know that! Godspeed young man..

I think Willie is great and should win season 19.
Willie Spence is by far the best singer on American Idol this season. He deserves to win. He had me from his first audition. He sends chills down my spine every time I hear him sing. God bless you through this journey Willie and may you be triumphant in the end. You are already a winner in my eyes. Everyone vote for Willie!
Willie is awesome I love to watch him and honestly hope he wins it all, honestly go Willie go!
I am heartbroken over Willie's death. I have loved his since the first note he sang during the Idol audition. I keep his family in my prayers. Rest In Peace Willie. You touched so many lives with your voice, your spirit, your love of God.

Such a beautiful human being with the voice of an Angel!
When i first heard Willie sing i said he is gonna win the American idol hands down. I don't even watch the idol anymore but I can say Willie got me tune in thanks Willie and keep up the great job....
Willie has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. He is my number “ONE”, as American Idol. He has a wonderful life before him. God Bless. ❤️
Any man who can leave his career behind so that he can care for the one who gives birth to him, deserves a gold medal. He did not send someone to look after her while he continued his merry way. Instead, he proved that his mom was more important than all the riches or fame in the world. That speaks volumes to the measure of the man. He is handsome and has a great voice and talent. Go willie!!!!
